This paper reviews diverse IP mobility and fast handover mechanisms for seamless Internet services. Especially, fast handover mechanisms for the Proxy Mobile IPv6( PMIPv6) are categorized according to their approaches. Then, a new fast handover PMIPv6(FH-PMIPv6) mechanism is proposed using only L3 signaling message exchange. In the proposed FH-PMIPv6 mechanism, only local mobility anchor(LMA) exchanges L3 signaling messages with mobility access gateways(MAGs) for the fast handover operation. That is, inter-MAG signalling messages are not required for the fast handover operation. Therefore, unlike existing fast handover mechanisms, two relevant neighbouring MAGs need not set up the security association(SA) to protect fast handover related signaling messages and share SA related information. Moreover, the L3 triggering message is defined newly by standard ICMPv6 to trigger promptly the proposed mechanism. Analysis and comparison of the handover latency are performed for the proposed mechanism and existing mechanisms, which shows that the proposed FH-PMIPv6 mechanism has the favorable performance.

This paper proposes a new fast vertical handover mechanism to optimize and enhance the existing fast vertical handover HMIPv6(FV-HMIP) mechanism in heterogeneous wireless access networks. The proposed mechanism ad opts the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover Function(MIHF), and thus is called the "MFV-HMIP". The Media Independent Handover Service (MIIS) in the IEEE 802.21 MIHF is extended by including new L3 inform ation to provide domain prefixes of heterogeneous neighbouring mobility anchor points(MAPs). This can eliminate the heterogeneous neighbouring MAP discovery phase in the existing FV-HMIP. Thus, the proposed MFV-HMIP can reduce the signalling traffic over wireless link and increase the possibility of predictive mode operation. Therefore, the proposed MFV-HMIP mechanism can be superior to the existing FV-HMIP mechanism for wireless resource efficiency, handover latency, and packet loss. Through analytic performance evaluations and computer si mulations, the proposed mechanism can be shown to optimize and enhance the existing mechanism.

Considering that the existing Long Term Evolution is not suitable for the fast and frequent handovers of high-speed trains, this paper proposes a relay-assisted handover mechanism to solve the problems of long handover authentication time and vulnerable to security attacks. It can achieve mutual authentication for train-ground wireless communication, and data transmission is consistent with one-time pad at the same time. The security analysis, efficiency analysis and simulation results show that the proposed mechanism not only realizes the forward security and resists many common attacks, but also effectively reduces the computational overhead of train antenna during the secure handover process. When the running speed of a train is lower than 500km/h, the handover delay is generally lower than 50ms and the handover outage probability is less than 1.8%. When the running speed of a train is 350km/h, the throughput is higher than 16.4mbps in the process of handover. Therefore, the secure handover mechanism can improve the handover performance of high-speed trains.

To provide IPTV service over mobile networks, the mechanism that reduce packet loss and interrupt of multimedia service during the handover should be supported. Especially, buffering based mechanism is preferable for supporting IPTV services in the way of preserving streaming service using stored data and recovering non-received data after handover. But previous research doesn't consider the buffer allocation for applying various environments which can change handover time or end to end delay of relay node. This paper propose DBAHAJ mechanism that optimize buffer size of mobile nodes and relay node for supporting seamless IPTV service over mobile environments. Mobile node determines buffer size by checking handover time and maximum difference of sequence to keep playing video data. And multicast agent recovers packet loss during the handover by sending buffered data. By these two procedure, node supports seamless IPTV service on mobile networks. We confirm performance of this mechanism on NS-2 simulator.

In the existing literature, the handover process reveals numerous problems manifested by high movement detection latency. FMIPv6 can reduce packet loss using a tunnel-based handover mechanism. However, this mechanism may cause performance degradation due to the out-of-sequence packets. Recently. Proxy Mobile IPv6 is proposed for network-based mobility management to reduce overhead in mobile node. PMIPv6 can decrease handover latency which related overhead in MN by using network agent. In this paper, we proposed optimized fast handover scheme called Fast Proxy Mobile IPv6 (EF-PMIPv6). The proposed EF-PMIPv6 can support fast handover using fast IAPP and ND schemes. Further, a mathematical analysis is provided to show the benefits of our scheme. In the analysis, various parameters are used to compare our scheme with the current procedures, while our approach focuses on the reduction of handover latency.

In this paper, we propose a mechanism for increasing the handover performance of the IEEE 802.11 link layer. The mechanism reduces the number of scanning channels by referencing an AP map based on GPS. Also, by monitoring the SNRs of the mobile node and neighbor APs, it enables the handover to maintain a higher SNR than a given threshold. The experimental results establish that it has a disconnection ratio of 6.7% and an average SNR of 16.8 dB. It is 4.1% lower disconnection ratio and 26% higher SNR than the mechanism used by MadWifi.

While network evolution toward all IP based wired and wireless converged network is on the move, services are being progressed into converged and complex services from simply coupled services, and telecommunication operators are developing new technologies which enable users to move between heterogeneous networks without discontinuity of a current service. In this paper, we propose a IP handover mechanism which reduces ping-pong effect during IP handover between WLAN and CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Rev.A neworks. We present stability and enhanced latency of the proposed IP handover mechanism by experimentation. The mechanism was developed under the 3rd phase of BcN project.

In this paper, we propose RFID network agent based user mobility support mechanism for secure information transmissions. When a user with RFID tag who enjoys service moves to different attachment points, the user mobility is supported to provide continuously service and the information can be securely transmitted. Although there is an existing study for providing user mobility, it has a problem which the handover latency time is long. To settle this problem, we present a scheme for minimizing handover latency time and compare handover latency time of existing and proposed scheme. We confirm that proposed mechanism has low latency time than existing mechanism by mathematical analysis using the queuing theory and show that proposed mechanism is more superior to the existing mechanism.

In this paper fast mobile multicast handover mechanism based on IEEE 802.21 MIH (Media Independent Handover) is proposed. We solve long multicast handover delay time caused by L3 movement detection mechanism of the existing mobile multicast methods. The proposed architecture adopts multicast manager concept to MIH framework in order to efficiently perform mobile multicast handover, and adds the new MIH messages dedicated for mobile multicast. Since multicast channel zapping operations of mobile users effectively make a mobile terminal handover, the architecture should consider the situations. Multicast network selection algorithm is designed by means of terminal speed and fair selection algorithm named AHP/GRA. Finally the performance of the proposed architecture against the legacy mobile multicast mechanisms is evaluated in terms of signaling cost and multicast handover delay time.

Fast handover is essential to support seamless multicast service in MIPv6. To reduce handover latency of multicast, there are two handover mechanisms, one is M-FMIP that prepares fast L3 handover before L2 handover and the other is M-HMIP that performs local area mobile multicast management. This paper proposes M-FHMIP that integrates an advantage of M-FMIP and M-HMIP, and analyzes the multicast handover latency.
